Timeline of History

Susan B. Anthony, feminist and suffragist, is born. Always a political and social activist, she will participate in both abolitionist and temperance movements well before she starts to work for women's suffrage.

Susan B. Anthony will create the Women's Temperance Movement with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, for example, and this is instrumental in her shift towards women's suffrage: there is already a temperance movement but she is denied admission because of being a woman.
